ParaTed2k's (Not So) Famous $5 Giveaway Game  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 63/100. ParaTed2k (6358)   ranked 47 out of 1,012 in humor 3 years ago

Last month I started a game where I offered a $5 prize to the person who could come up with the funniest ACORN Acronym. Congratulations again to Betsyraeduke for winning that one! I know I said that they all wouldn't be political, and they won't, but this one will be.

This one goes with my new position, teaching guitar as part of an afterschool program at a local elementary school. I wrote an article about it, poking fun at the teachers who abuse their position to spread their left wing political views in the classroom. Here at the Giveaway Game I thought it would be fun to continue that spirit of satire.

Write a couple of verses of lyrics that you would incorporate into a song you might use to teach elementary kids your political views. Left, right, moderate, whatever. It can satirize Obama, Bush, or even supporters of either.

Here's a few to get you started;

(To the tune of Old McDonald)

Old Obama had a farm, EIE I Owe
and on this farm he had some pork EIE I Owe
With a "Bail out" here and a "Bail out" there
Here a "bail" there an "out" everywhere a "bail out"
Old Obama had a bill EIE I owe.

here's another one:

(To Eensy Weensy Spider)

Eensy Weens Obama climbed up the health care spout.
Down came the truth and washed Obama out.
Out came the stunned and whined, moaned and complained
so the eensy weens Obama tried to spout again.

Ground rules... no words that can't pass MyLot censors... if you try to get past them with zeros for "O", "$" for S or "@" for a, you won't get past me. If you try it, you might make me laugh, but you will also be disqualified.

I'm the only judge, and my judgement is final. That means I might not pick the one that sent liquid refreshment shooting from oral to ossicle. There might even be more than one that cause an aural soda fountain, but only one can win. In that case, I'll just have to wing it. If you don't like the outcome, well.... put up your own $5 and then you get to be the judge!

Remember, even though I'm the one and only judge, and you know my political views... you also know I'm willing to have a good laugh at my own expense. Don't worry if your entry might not agree with my views, this contest is listed under "humor" not "politics".

Funny gets the money!

Winner announced Oct. 16

Yo, bro.

It have to be targeted to a US political scene ?

A haiku-like is acceptable, eventually ?

Are you a objective or subjective judge ?

You will pay the prize cash, in so called "Jackson bills" ?


myLot reputation of 63/100. ParaTed2k (6358)   ranked 47 out of 1,012 in humor  3 years ago

Well, It will have to be one that makes me laugh, so if I don't get it, it might have a handicap, but you can offer any little political ditty you want.

I pay $5 to the paypal account of the winner, what that translates to in local currency, I have no idea.


myLot reputation of 83/100. wmraul (1155)  3 years ago

rolleyes check in your wallet for the jackson bill ..whistle

To the tune of We Love You Conrad from Bye Bye Birdie

We loved you Kennedy
Oh yes we did
We loved your Wife
We loved your kids

What did you leave us though?
Just Ted
And one big pain in the head.

To the tune of Sixteen Tons

You voted for Obama and what did ya get,
a sinking economy that deepened the debt,
Mandatory servitude you can't deny,
because you sold your soul to the Obama lie.


myLot reputation of 75/100. irishidid (3461)   ranked 173 out of 1,012 in humor  3 years ago

To the tune of I think I Love You

The Obama Self-Adoration Song

Believe me I really don't have to worry
and if I said hey veto the bill I will
Mirrors in the oval room and every place
So I can practice making the "I'm perfect" face
I think I love me.

I think I love me
Isn't that what I was made for
Though it worries me to say
I'll be ex president one of these days
stupid constitutions in the way
I think I love me

I had to include a Clinton one because it's just too good to pass up.

I could while away the hours
thinking about Lewinsky and Flowers
I got Paula on the brain
If Hillary knew what I was thinkin'
my car keys she'd be yankin'
I can't afford another stain.

To the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Push, push, push your bill
Even though it's pork
It will surely make it through
The voters all are dorks

Well, I'm not so quick on the draw as some folks here, but thought I'd give this a shot for the fun of it! :-)

Bill Clinton--sung to the tune of "Bonanza"

I've got a flair for women everywhere
Bill Clinton!

I'm not afraid of any pretty aide
especially Lewinsky!
Bill Clinton!

When I give a kiss to any little miss
she'll learn a lot from me
Bill Clinton!

Hair of brown, hair of gold,
even red for me

One for all and all for one
I'm for myself you see
Anyone of them who wants a little buss
Can surely count on me
Bill Clinton!

But, if any gal might
Pick a little fight,
I'll make a guarantee
They won't just face me
They'll face my wife
The scary Hillary!
Bill Clinton!

To the tune of 'I'm a little tea pot'

I'm Barack 0bama there's no doubt,
My birth place you'll not know about,
I need a teleprompter to preach and shout,
Tip me over and no brains fall out

I'm just getting warmed up.

Well dang & dagnabbit. LOST my first try. Hope I can remember it all!

Here're a couple of ditties.

(To the tune of "London Bridge Is Falling Down")

THE GOLDEN-TONGUED ONE

Teleprompter's broken down,
Broken Down, broken down!
Teleprompter's broken down!
Poor Obama!

Opens mouth, he tries to speak,
Tries to speak, tries to speak!
Opens mouth, he tries to speak!
Poor Obama!

Crowd is waiting, breathless, still,
Breathless, still, breathless, still...
Poor Obama!

Beads of sweat show up on brow,
Up on brow, up on brow!
Beads of sweat show up on brow!
Poor Obama!

Words won't come, but still he tries,
Still he tries, still he tries.
Words won't come, but still he tries...
Poor Obama!

Ladies, gents, I...uh, er, ah...
Hmm, um, uh...I'm here to say,
Ahem! I mean, that is (gulp!)(Whew!)...
Poor Obama!!

Another--if you have the stomach--break out your klezmers & sing along to the tune of "Hava Negila"...cool)

"WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"


myLot reputation of 78/100. Maggiepie (2990)   ranked 181 out of 1,012 in humor  3 years ago

Eek! w00t I missed a line in stanza 2! It should've read:

"Crowd is waiting, breathless, still,
Breathless, still, breathless, still...
(missing line) Crowd is waiting, breathless, still...
Poor Obama!"

Sorry 'bout that. Geezerhood doth approach right swiftly! blush

myLot reputation of 78/100. Maggiepie (2990)   ranked 181 out of 1,012 in humor  3 years ago

I answered it. Thanks! happy

I'm extremely pleased to have won, given that a bunch of the posts people entered made me laugh! Thanks for the fun game! And the $5! Do I just go to PayPal & ask 'em where's my $5, or will they email me that it's there? I've never dealt with them except to get payouts here, & of course, your 5 isn't going to show up here, even tho, technically, I did make it here! lol
